Why Private Mortgage Lenders in Ottawa Have Become Immensely Popular

If you are in the Ontarian property market for a new house or looking to refinance your existing home loan, you may be considering private mortgage lenders in Ottawa as an option. Also referred to as non-bank lenders, they are individuals or companies that provide home loans and tend to have less stringent criteria concerning borrower eligibility when compared to those of traditional banking institutions. Today, we will briefly explore what private mortgage lenders are and how they can help accomplish your financial objectives.

The Rise of Private Mortgage Lenders in Ottawa and other Canadian Cities

Private mortgage lenders may include private investors, corporations, or other entities that specialize in real estate financing. They tend to be more flexible and responsive than traditional banks and the former can often provide the necessary financing for unique or unconventional properties.

One of the most significant advantages of applying for a home loan from the crème de la crème of private mortgage lenders is that they offer a remarkably faster approval and disbursal process in comparison with mainstream financial institutions. Private mortgage lenders have all the liberty to make their own lending decisions and do not come under the scope of government regulations that govern Canadian banks, which allows them to be more lenient in their lending process.

In addition, private mortgage lenders may be able to offer more customized loan options than traditional banks, and they may be more willing to collaborate with borrowers with a less-than-perfect credit history or to provide financing for non-traditional properties, such as vacation homes or investment properties.

How to Find Private Mortgage Lenders in Ottawa and Other Canadian Cities

Home loan agents know dozens of renowned private lenders and your residential mortgage broker in Ottawa may help introduce you to one. You can also consider searching the web and learn why more Ottawa residents are choosing James Mercure Mortgages over the rest these days. Finally, you may ask for suitable referrals from your friends, family members, or anyone you can trust when looking for unbiased advice.

Make sure to exercise due diligence when researching private mortgage lenders online. Make a point to check their credentials and client reviews before agreeing to work with them. You should also compare the interest rates and terms offered by multiple lenders to ensure that you are indeed securing the best offer possible.

Why You Must Secure a Home Loan from Private Mortgage Lenders in Ottawa

The most significant advantages of opting for a private lender when applying for a home loan are:

Quicker funding and prompt approval

Less demanding in terms of lending criteria

Customized loan options

Financing for non-traditional properties

Potentially lower interest rates

Private mortgage lenders in Ottawa and other major cities in Canada can often prove to be an excellent option for borrowers who are particularly looking for more flexibility and customization in their loan financing. However, do not forget to explore and understand all your options carefully before zeroing in on one.

[so-i-did-this-thing]

Hello! I hope you're doing well and I'd like to thank you for being the rad trans uncle of Tumblr. I'm in a fuckin' crimson state that's quite unfriendly to trans people and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave until 2028 at the earliest. Might I ask if there's anything you'd recommend doing? Anywho, I hope the leaves were great where you are! Peace!

It's been weird, but I'm glad to be here. :) As for recommendations, well, while you are not in a great place for trans rights, thinking ahead towards a move a few years down the road *is* good. Stuff you should be considering:

Get your finances in order.

Start with making a budget (I like the tool YNAB), tracking your habits, and looking for places to reduce spending. I know that can mean squeezing blood from a stone, but even saving up gas money for a cross-country trip can move up your moving timeline.

You also want to start planning your moving expenses. For example, buying boxes, using a moving service, cost to service your car, calming meds for your pets, etc. Just make a spreadsheet and keep adding as you think of things. Have a rolling total and track against your savings.

Lastly, get your credit score in order. A free service like Credit Karma is fine, but as you get closer to having to apply for rent or a mortgage, sign up with each credit agency and pull your report. Get caught up on any delinquencies asap and do not miss any payments from now until you are moved - missed payments take the longest of ANYTHING to fall off your score.

If you've changed your legal name, make sure it matches with all the credit bureaus. If you feel responsible with credit, ask for a credit line increase every 6 months - that will help with your debt ratio if you are currently trying to pay down a balance. Plan a credit score timeline with a hard stop at least 2 months before you apply for a loan/rent -- after that, no more making any big purchases or applying for new cards. Try to have no more of 10% of your total credit line actually on your cards by the end of your timeline. Aka, if your line of credit is $1,000, you only want $100 on the cards.

2. Start paring down your stuff

Gt crafty hobbies? Stop adding to your stash. Stop it. Start getting rid of broken things, clothes that don't fit, stuff you don't see yourself using, or stuff that is cheaper to sell & buy at your new place, rather than pay to move. If this all feels hard, put the items you're questioning in a box now, and then open it next year and see how you feel. Don't buy anything you wouldn't want to move.

3. Start your research

Make lists of towns that look promising. See how their local government works. Check the local reddits and facebook groups to get the vibes. Make lists of "must haves" and "nice to haves" at the state, city, neighborhood, and even house level. Get an idea for what the cost of living will be in your new place. Decide what your deal-breakers will be.

4. Work on your job skills

Four years is a lot of time to improve yourself for a good salary hike. It's a lot of time to get marketable for remote jobs, which will broaden your opportunities to live where you want. If remote work interests you, start looking at job listings and note the requirements. Make a plan to be qualified within 3 years.

5. Make a bucket list of things to do in your current state

There must be some good things about your state. There were in mine. Afford yourself grace and do some fun things that you might not have the chance to do again when you move. Hang out especially with local friends and family you care about.

6. Keep an eye on what's happening wrt trans rights.

Follow trans pundits and your local trans rights orgs. Get in the habit of learning what's going down in your municipality, down to the school board level. Be prepared to have to adjust your moving timeline if shit hits the fan.

7. Stay on top of your healthcare and legal stuff

No passport yet? Apply now. Forgetful about getting your HRT renewed? Set reminders and work hard to stay on top of everything. As you get closer to moving, research healthcare options in your new home and get appointments lined up asap.

8. If you're selling & buying a house, be prepared for it to take nearly a year

Seriously, it can take forever for everything to work out. Work with realtors in your new state who specialize in remote sales & relocations. Start repairing your current place by year 3 and start packing months in advance of the final move.

tldr; Treat the next 4 years like you're at college and your degree is Getting the Hell Outta Dodge. Plan as much as you can with to-do lists and spreadsheets, with some kind of monthly goal at first, then weekly and daily goals as your move approaches. It can feel overwhelming, but knowing *now* that you are going to move means you can plan as much as possible and reduce the amount of panic-decisions.

Good luck!

50+ Good Things from the Biden Administration

Just a list of 50+ good things the Biden Administration has done in the last 4 years because I’ve been hearing too much rhetoric that it doesn’t matter who you vote for. It does make a difference. 

Increased access to healthcare and specifically codified protections for LGBTQ+ patients against discrimination. (x) 

Strengthened women's reproductive rights by increasing access to reproductive health care, improving confidentiality to protect against criminalization for patients receiving reproductive care, and revoked Medicaid waivers from states that would exclude providers like Planned Parenthood, and more. (x)

Expanded healthcare and benefits for veterans through the PACT Act (x)

Cemented protections for pregnant and postpartum workers through the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act. 

Improved access to nursing homes for those who receive Medicaid services and established, for the first time, a national minimum staffing requirement for nursing homes to ensure those in their care receive sufficient support.  (x) 

Lowered healthcare costs for those with Medicare which capped insulin for seniors at $35 a month, made vaccines free, and capped seniors’ out of pocket expenses at the pharmacy through the Inflation Reduction Act. 

Fully vaccinated 79% of American adults against COVID-19 (I know this is old news now this is a big deal) 

Banned unfair practices that hide housing fees from renters and homebuyers when moving into a new home (x) 

Reduced the mortgage insurance premium for Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgages and clarified that inflated rents caused by algorithmic use of sensitive nonpublic pricing and supply information violate antitrust laws. (x) 

Increased protections for those saving for retirement from predatory practices. (x)

Helped millions of households gain access to the internet through the Affordable Connectivity Program. (x) 

Restored net neutrality (net neutrality is a standard which ensures broadband internet service is essential and prohibits interna providers from blocking, engaging in paid prioritization, and more.) (x)

Increased protections for loan holders as well as increased access to loans (x)

Cut fees that banks charge consumers for overdrawing on their accounts. (x)

Reaffirmed HUD’s commitment to remedy housing discrimination under the Fair Housing Act (which was– surprise, surprise– halted under the Trump administration). (x)

Rejoined the Paris Climate Accords.  

Listed more than 24 million acres of public lands across the country as environmentally protected and has channeled more than $18 billion dollars toward conservation projects. (And revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline amongst others). 

Invested $369 billion to reduce greenhouse emissions and promote clean energy technologies through the Inflation Reduction Act. Through the tax incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act, renewable energy (such as wind, solar, and hydropower) has surpassed coal-fired generation in the electric power sector for the first time, making it the second-biggest source of energy behind natural gas. (x)

Strengthened protections against workplace assault through the Speak Out Act. (x) 

Increased protections for workers during the union bargaining process (x)

Is making it easier for passengers to obtain refunds when airlines cancel or significantly change their flights, significantly delay their bags, or fail to provide extra services when purchased. (x)  

Invested $1.2 trillion into roads, waterlines, broadband networks, airports and more allowing for more bridges, railroads, tunnels, roads, and more through the Inflation Reduction Act (which also added 670,000 jobs). (idk about you but I like driving on well maintained roads and having more rail options).  

Strengthened overtime protections for federal employees (x)

Raised the minimum wage for federal workers and contractors to $15. (x)

Strengthened protections for farmworkers by expanding the activities protected from retaliation by the National Labor Relations Act and more. (Previously anti-retaliation provisions under the National Labor Relations Act applies mostly to only U.S. citizens) (x)

Invested $80 billion for the Internal Revenue Service to hire new agents, audit the wealth, modernize its technology, and more. Additionally, created $300 billion in new revenue through corporate tax increases. (x) 

Lowered the unemployment rate to 3.5% — the lowest in 50 years. 

Canceled over $140B of student debt for nearly 40 million borrowers. (x)

Strengthened protections for sexual assault survivors, pregnant and parenting students, and LGBTQ+ students in schools through an updated Title IX rule. This updated rule strengthens sexual assault survivors rights to investigation– something that had been gutted under the Trump administration, strengthens requirements that schools provide modifications for students based on pregnancy, prohibits harassment based on sexual orientation or gender identity, and more. (x)

Revoked an order that limited diversity and inclusion training. (x)

Cracked down on for profit colleges. (x)

Reaffirmed students’ federal civil rights protections for non-discrimination based on race, national origin, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender in schools. Specifically, the Department of Education made clear students with disabilities’ right to school, limiting the use of out of school suspensions and expulsions against them. (x) (x) 

Enhanced the Civil Rights Data Collection, a national survey that captures data on students’ equal access to educational opportunities. These changes will improve the tracking of civil rights violations for students, critical for advocates to respond to instances of discrimination. 

Provided guidance on how colleges and universities can still uphold racial diversity in higher education following the Supreme Court decision overturning affirmative action. (x) 

Issued a federal pardon to all prior Federal offenses of simple possession of marijuana. Additionally, the DEA is taking steps to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III substance instead of a Schedule I, limiting punishment for possession in the future. (x) 

Changed drug charges related to crack offenses, now charging crack offenses as powder cocaine offenses. This is a big step towards ending the racial disparity that punishes crack offenses with greater severity than offenses involving the same amount of powder cocaine. (x) 

Lowered the cost of local calls for incarcerated people through the Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act as well as increased access for video calls (especially impactful for incarcerated people with disabilities). (x) 

Enacted policing reforms that banned chokeholds, restricted no-knock entries, and restricted the transfer of military equipment to local police departments. (x)

Established the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD) which will better track police officer misconduct. This database will vet federal law enforcement candidates who have a history of misconduct from being rehired and will make it easier and faster to charge police officers under the Death in Custody Reporting Act. (x) 

Added disability as a protected characteristic alongside race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation. Under the law, police officers are prohibited from profiling people based on these characteristics. …It sadly happens anyway but now there’s an added legal protection which means a mechanism to convict police officers should they break the law. (x) 

Required federal prisons to place incarcerated individuals consistent with their chosen pronouns and gender identity. (x) 

Expanded gun background checks by narrowing the “boyfriend” loophole to keep guns out of the hands of convicted dating partners, strengthening requirements for registering as a licensed gun dealer (closing the “gun show loophole”), and more through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.  (x) 

Increased mental health programs within police departments to support officers experiencing substance use disorders, mental health issues, or trauma from their duties. (x)

Lifted Trump era restrictions on the use of consent decrees. The Justice Department uses consent decrees to force local government agencies (like police departments) to eliminate bad practices (such as widespread abuse and misconduct) that infringe on peoples’ civil rights. (x) 

Improved reporting of hate crimes through the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act (x) 

Nominated the first Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court 

Confirmed 200 lifetime judges to federal courts, confirming historic numbers of women, people of color, and other judges who have long been excluded from our federal court system. (64% are women, 63% are people of color) 

Designated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) status for immigrants from Cameroon, Haiti, ​​El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Sudan, and more. (x) 

Ended the discriminatory Muslim and African bans (x). 

Provided a pathway to citizenship for spouses of U.S. citizens that have been living in the country without documentation. (x) 

Expanded healthcare to DACA recipients (x) 

This one is… barely a win but not by fault of the Biden Administration. The Department of Homeland Security as of Feb 2023 has reunited nearly 700 immigrant children that were separated from their families under Trump’s Zero Tolerance Policy. From 2017-2021, 3,881 children were separated from their families. About 74% of those have been reunited with their families: 2,176 before the task force was created and 689 afterward. But that still leaves nearly 1,000 children who remain tragically separated from their families from under the Trump Administration. (x)

(okay this one is maybe only exciting for me who’s a census nerd) Revised federal standards for the collection of race and ethnicity data, allowing for federal data that better reflect the country’s diversity. Now, government forms will include a Middle Eastern/ North African category (when previously those individuals would check “white”). Additionally, forms will now have combined the race & ethnicity question allowing for individuals to check “Latino/a” as their race (previously Latine individuals would be encouraged to check “Latino” for ethnicity and “white” for race… which doesn’t really resonate with many folks). (x) (I know this sounds boring but let me tell you this is BIG when it comes to better data collection– and better advocacy!).

Rescinded a Trump order that would have excluded undocumented immigrants from the 2020 Census which would have taken away critical funds from those communities. 

Required the U.S. federal government and all U.S. states and territories to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial civil marriages by passing the Respect for Marriage Act, repealing the Defense of Marriage Act.

Reversed Trump’stransgender military ban. 

Proposed investments in a lot of programs including universal pre-k, green energy, mental health programs across all sectors, a national medical leave program for all workers and more. (x) 

Last… let’s also not forget all the truly terrible things Trump did when he was in office. If you need a reminder, scroll this list, this one mostly for giggles + horror, for actual horror about what a Trump presidency has in store, learn about ‘Project 2025’ from the Heritage Foundation. I know this post is about reasons to vote FOR Biden but let’s not forget the many, many reasons to vote for him over Trump. 

So, there it is, 50+ reasons to vote for Biden in the 2024 Election. 

Check your voter registration here, make a plan to vote, and encourage your friends to vote as well. 

All in all, yeah… there’s a lot of shitty things still happening. There’s always going to be shit but things aren’t going to change on their own. And that change starts (it certainly doesn’t end) with voting. 

Go vote in November.

The history of redlining

Leading social change:

Blog #2

By: Naymaa Ahmed

A discriminatory practice known as "redlining" first appeared in the US in the early 20th century, and Portland, Oregon, was one of its locations. Based on the racial or cultural makeup of a community, it refers to the systematic denial of financial services including loans, insurance, and investment opportunities. Due to the designation of some regions as "high-risk" or "undesirable" for financing, this practice disproportionately impacted African American communities and restricted their access to housing and other financial resources. locations such as Vanport, Oregon. Determining what is and is not within the purview of this research is essential for a better understanding of the issue. In this case, the research's primary focus would be on the background of redlining in Portland, including its inception, application, and impacted communities. It would also cover the current redlining-related socioeconomic gaps as well as any ongoing initiatives to alleviate these problems. draw attention to the long-term effects of redlining, including the aggravation of racial segregation in the city, wealth inequality, and the continuation of poverty throughout generations. Highlighting the interdependence of these matters can facilitate a more comprehensive comprehension of the extensive consequences of redlining on the impacted neighborhoods and Portland's general socioeconomic structure. As we go on to Redlings, the Federal Housing Administration provided veterans with mortgage loans, enabling millions of families to buy homes. Unfortunately, these loans did not help the black community because the criteria used to determine who would receive home loans were overtly racist, making it hard for people of color to buy a home even in times of prosperity. segregating everyone and assigning each applicant a color based on where their property is located. Albina and downtown Portland are redlined. Where, by coincidence, there are the most Black residents(Gross,2020). Due to all of the unconstitutional bills and decisions that were passed at that time. Today, it has a significant impact on the black community. Resulting in a 32% difference between White and Black Portlanders who own homes. All of this is the outcome of 150 years of redlining, mismanagement, and unabashed prejudice. Starting with the flood that destroyed Vanport as a city. Forcing tens of thousands of people to leave their homes and move into a neighborhood where it was obvious they were not wanted. All of this was the start & result of how racism was built into our housing systems in the 1940s.Redlining in Portland is a problem with roots in social inequality and systematic racism, which is one reason it matters. In addition to being morally reprehensible, discrimination based on race subverts the ideals of justice and equality that our society ought to uphold. Our concern for this issue reflects our recognition of the need to right historical wrongs and build a society that is more just and inclusive. What leads us to believe that Portland is now socially fair if it wasn't before? How can you be certain that these maps and bills aren't concealed somewhere in your city?

Sustainability and Green Banking: The Future of Financial Services

The global banking sector is undergoing a significant transformation as financial institutions embrace sustainability and green banking. With increasing concerns about climate change, environmental degradation, and social responsibility, banks are now playing a pivotal role in promoting sustainable finance, reducing carbon footprints, and investing in green initiatives.

Green banking is no longer a niche concept—it has become an essential part of the financial services industry. This shift is driven by regulatory pressures, evolving customer preferences, and the recognition that sustainable investments yield long-term economic benefits. As part of the banking sector outlook, sustainability is now a major focus for financial institutions worldwide.

In this article, we will explore what green banking is, why it matters, the key trends shaping the future, and how financial institutions can lead the way in sustainable finance.

What is Green Banking?

Green banking refers to environmentally responsible financial practices that prioritize sustainability. This includes:

Financing renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind power.

Offering green loans and green bonds for eco-friendly businesses and initiatives.

Reducing banks' own carbon footprints by using energy-efficient infrastructure.

Encouraging customers to invest in sustainable businesses and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) portfolios.

Green banking is not just about corporate responsibility—it is a strategic move that aligns financial services with the long-term health of the planet and the economy.

Why Sustainability Matters in Banking

1. Regulatory Pressures and Global Commitments

Governments and international bodies such as the United Nations (UN), European Union (EU), and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) are pushing financial institutions to adopt sustainable banking practices.

The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming, requiring financial institutions to support climate-friendly investments.

India’s RBI has issued guidelines for banks to integrate environmental risks into their credit policies.

The EU Green Deal and Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) require banks to disclose their climate impact.

2. Growing Demand for ESG Investments

Customers and investors are increasingly interested in sustainable finance options. ESG-focused investment funds are seeing massive growth as individuals and institutions seek investments that align with their values.

3. Financial and Economic Benefits

Sustainable banking is not just ethically important—it is financially smart.

Green loans and sustainable investments often yield long-term financial stability.

Energy-efficient buildings and operations reduce costs for banks.

Supporting low-carbon industries minimizes risks associated with climate change and environmental regulations.

Key Trends in Green Banking

1. Green Bonds and Sustainable Investments

Green bonds are financial instruments used to fund climate and environmental projects. The green bond market has surged globally, with banks issuing billions in bonds to finance sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy projects.

2. Digital Banking for Sustainability

Many banks are shifting to paperless banking and promoting online transactions to reduce waste. Digital banking also reduces the carbon footprint associated with physical branches and paper-based processes.

3. Net-Zero Banking Commitments

Several banks have committed to net-zero emissions by 2050, meaning they will finance more green projects and reduce funding for carbon-intensive industries like coal and oil.

4. Green Mortgages and Loans

Banks are offering lower interest rates on green mortgages for energy-efficient homes. Similarly, businesses that adopt sustainable practices can access green loans with preferential terms.

5. Fintech and AI-Driven Sustainable Finance

Financial technology (fintech) is playing a significant role in green banking. AI and blockchain are being used to create transparent ESG investment platforms, helping customers track their environmental impact.

How Banks Can Lead the Way in Sustainable Finance

To truly integrate green banking, financial institutions must take proactive steps:

1. Develop Strong ESG Policies

Banks should embed environmental and social governance (ESG) criteria into their lending and investment decisions. This ensures funds are directed towards sustainable businesses and projects.

2. Partner with Green Enterprises

Financial institutions can collaborate with renewable energy companies, electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, and sustainable startups to offer specialized financing solutions.

3. Educate Customers on Sustainable Finance
